Examples for adding tables, accessing them, removing them, and merging cells using **Aspose.Slides for Android via Java**.

## **Add a Table**

Create a simple table with two rows and two columns.

```java
static void addTable() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        double[] widths = new double[] { 80, 80 };
        double[] heights = new double[] { 30, 30 };
        ITable table = slide.getShapes().addTable(50, 50, widths, heights);
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
```

## **Access a Table**

Retrieve the first table shape on the slide.

```java
static void accessTable() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        double[] widths = new double[] { 80, 80 };
        double[] heights = new double[] { 30, 30 };
        ITable table = slide.getShapes().addTable(50, 50, widths, heights);

        // Access first table on slide.
        ITable firstTable = null;
        for (IShape shape : slide.getShapes()) {
            if (shape instanceof ITable) {
                firstTable = (ITable) shape;
                break;
            }
        }
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
```

## **Remove a Table**

Delete a table from a slide.

```java
static void removeTable() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        double[] widths = new double[] { 80, 80 };
        double[] heights = new double[] { 30, 30 };
        ITable table = slide.getShapes().addTable(50, 50, widths, heights);

        slide.getShapes().remove(table);
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
```

## **Merge Table Cells**

Merge adjacent cells of a table into a single cell.

```java
static void mergeTableCells() {
    Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
    try {
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        double[] widths = new double[] { 80, 80 };
        double[] heights = new double[] { 30, 30 };
        ITable table = slide.getShapes().addTable(50, 50, widths, heights);

        // Merge cells.
        table.mergeCells(table.get_Item(0, 0), table.get_Item(1, 1), false);
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
```
